I'm really really delighted that Jenny, Marc, Matt, Marina, etc. have the capacity to
take on funding opportunities, write grants, and bring funds into SudoRoom.
Thank you for your hard work, commitment and passion!
Craig

Thanks for clearing that up.
Might make sense next time to send a quick note, you know, to the group, sometime within
a month of representing the entire community.

be sure to do that in the future. Rather, I simply reached out to this in my immediate
vicinity (Marc, Matt and Marina). It would be great if folks could add to the wiki page I
started at
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Funding and take the lead on initiating applications
for other grants.

Counter Culture Labs), we didn't want to publish to the highly-populated mailing list
out of fear that someone less than aligned would scoop us on the deal.

negotiating a way to hold the space. There will be public information available in the
next week, or you could email me off-list and I can share more. We'll also be meeting
about it on Thursday with the Public School folks (it was they who scheduled the meeting,
which I only just learned of a few hours ago)

tonight's meeting). Of course, anyone else attending the meetings can also do this.

looking forward to meeting the people I've only seen on the list so far, and to
congratulating people in person on all their hard work in keeping sudo room moving
forward! And to being able to participate more in person in the future.

drafting of the successful grant proposal. I tried searching my list archives to see if I
missed anything about organizing this and it seems I didn't. Grant writing is
something I want to learn more about and I would have liked to participate in the process
and I would have made the time to if I had known about it. I'm still looking forward
to Vicky's idea for a grant database and to contributing to that however I can.

schedule is very tight otherwise, so I've been following the list and looking at the
meeting minutes diligently to try to stay engaged. Despite that I've been unable to
gather a clear sense of what's going on, and lately (not since early September
according to my seach) I haven't seen the minutes appear on the list at all except for
last week. I still won't be able to make it this evening, so I hope there will be
minutes to read that the whole community is informed of.

meeting about securing a new space at the Omni happening on Thursday evening. If this is
true, can anyone who is involved in that inform the community via the list about what is
going on, and defer a final decision until there's broad consensus? The last I see
about it from searching the list is from October 1st.

forward, (though I'm not sure who they might be,) I want to make sure that whatever
decisions made that affect the whole community are still based on informed, explicit
consensus by the whole community, which is fundamental to how sudo room works.
